I’m hearing the Star Wars theme
Health care? Education? Veterans care? “Where’s the money for that going to come from?”
New missile defense system? “I’ll take two”
Oh man, isn’t this how Judge Dredd started?
Last time I checked there weren’t a lot of missiles being fired into the US. But of course when you need a missile defense system it is probably too late to build one.
fuck you and your kids – we need missile defense (again)
I saw this the other day; for comparison’s sake, Israel is approximately 8,600 square miles. The United States is approximately 3.8 million square miles. Even if he leaves out the blue states (which he obviously would), it’s a fucking stupid idea.
I’m half convinced I’m in some long term hallucination.
Just label it “Star Wars” every time you reference it. Reagan’s failed.
I can’t even imagine the cost of such a system for the US.
Israel needed US aid and spent something like a year of their defense budget over a decade to build the system they have. It covers airspace the size of New Jersey. It works because they can layer the cover due to how small and concentrated their population is.
The US would need thousands of times the interceptors and thousands of launchers built into hundreds of complexes all across the US. It would cost a staggering amount of money, not just to build, but to man and sustain. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re talking a trillion dollars or more all together.
The DoD already rejected such a system just for Guam and Hawaii on the basis of cost and efficiency alone.
He’s sending America to war.
It you were a lot less of a cowardice asshole hiding in your enclave you might not need Marvel characters to protect you.
America is too big for this. Israel gets away with it because they are tiny. Also, the iron dome can only shoot down small rockets – that’s not going to help us.
If anything gets built, it will only protect Washington DC and Palm Beach.
We don’t need such a thing.
This is a good use of our monies. Just take the Simpsons approach and make a giant dome, that would be an architectural impossibility, over the country.
Someone mind telling the asshole how executive orders work?
The US already has the best missile defense system in the world. Other countries are building hypersonic missiles and the US isn’t because they have to beat our system, we don’t have to beat their system. The last time Trump was in office he showed off that we can shoot down ICBMs in orbit. China started building hundreds of new ICBMs and Russia went all in on hypersonic missiles.
Trump wants to end the IRS how is he going to pay for these missiles who’s going to pay the military soldiers when they go hungry the bullets don’t go to the civilians when a soldier starves it goes up in the chain of command.. fafo
When was the last time someone launched a missile at the USA?
Who asked for anything that’s happening right now.
Ain’t gonna help when the attacks are coming from inside.
America is way too fucking big lmao.
If it’s anything like the border wall, it won’t be 100% finished and easy to get around
Elon is on the job
We almost certainly already have that. Trump is trying to blow the secret open.
There has never been a missile threat to the US. We are surrounded by allies. What is this supposed to stop?
Dome sweet dome
Infinite money for war, no money to better your lives.
He’s going to announce a Death Star isn’t he?
Why worry about missile defense when we’re doing everything we can to just hand the adversary the keys anyway?
Like a big wall? We going to get Canada and Mexico to pay for that as well?
“Trump’s executive order calls for the Pentagon to come up with a design architecture, requirements, and an implementation plan for the next-generation missile defense shield within 60 days.”
60 days seems like plenty of time to wargame out a missile system that won’t be instantly obsolete with next gen AI weapon systems, right? I would think that something that is supposed to protect us against weapons that aren’t even developed yet might take a little more time than that. So it’s either going to be built fast and not be worth a damn, or endlessly bloat as it tries to accommodate whatever is coming in the future.
Is Trump just going to spend 4 years pretending he can govern exclusively through executive orders?
If so I’m fine with it.
Next president comes in and undoes ALL of them with one stroke of a pen.
The US and it’s allies have already been working on it for awhile.
More trump claiming something already happening.
“Star Wars” all over again.
Is someone shooting at us?
What happened to government efficiency? The US is not under constant threat of rocket attacks and this will do jack all against ICBMS.
This will make the eggs cheaper.
But we don’t have money for meals on wheels
When i was four I was in my grandmother’s house when it caught fire.
I’m starting to believe I never made it out and the past forty years is just my brain melting as I’m suffocatingmei death before the flames catch me.
When you’re too stupid to understand why a weapon system is developed but you still want that weapon system because it’s the coolest toy money can buy.
Apparently we’ll be using the savings from all of the other EOs to pay for this new system.
Giant assumption of course, but not out of the realm of possibility.
Simpsons movie type shit.
